Don't worry, Jeff and Amanda will come home someday. Until then, we want to give our family and friends a glimpse of life as expat-newlyweds.

R&R at Bintan Island

I'm not joking when I say Jeff works all the time. Most of you remember Jeff is not a morning person, but now he is out the door for work by 8am, which doesn't stop him from working until after midnight most nights. After a couple weeks of that routine, we really needed a change of pace and scenery, which we found at Bintan Island in Indonesia.

The great thing about Singapore is that it's a hub to all these amazing places. Bintan is only a 45 minute ferry ride away, and yet, it felt like a million miles. Anybody know Bintang beer? There you go. We stayed at a very chill place called Mana Mana, which was anything but fancy, but that suited us just fine. For two days, we played on the beach, kayaked, ate and slept. Frankly, there wasn't much else to do.

Oh wait, how could I forget beating Jeff, not once, but THREE TIMES at pool!
